Double-Edge (Japanese: すてみタックル Life-Risking Tackle) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I
Double-Edge inflicts damage and the user receives recoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the target. Double-Edge has a Base Power of 100 in this generation.
If the user of Double-Edge attacks first and makes itself faint due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.
Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Double-Edge breaks a Substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.
In Pokémon Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Double-Edge knocks out a target.
Generation II
Base power is increased to 120.
Generation III and on
Recoil is increased to 1/3 of damage done, rather than ¼.

Trivia
- Koffing and Weezing are the only Generation I Pokémon that can learn TMs that cannot learn Double-Edge by TM or move tutor.
- The name "Double-Edge" probably originated from the saying a "double-edged sword", which means having both favourable and unfavourable consequences.
- Typhlosion is the only Pokémon that learns this move at an earlier level than its pre-evolved forms.
